This Maserati is way more fun to drive than the Porsche. But it depreciates much faster, is long in the tooth and will soon be replaced by a newer design.

If you go this route, I'd suggest buy used.

Not to mention that the Maserati continues to have reliability problems. I'm stuck on BMWs even though I like the looks of the Panamera very much. From what I know and have seen about this car, the Panamera is scary fast.
